on facebook "TBS RaceTracker" group there is a form to fill out if you have no ID. You will need to use an android phone with the "TBS TRACKER" app to update the TBS RaceTracker firmware. DroneSquad is currently in development to support the latest firmware.

Thank you for the response Trappy. I don't have an android phone, will have to search for someone that does.

Reason: too much negativity

Just received my tbs race tracker yesterday. I started charging it around 6pm yesterday. As of this post (over 24hrs later) it is not charged and will not turn on.
The only thing I get is a slow blinking red light. See the link to the video below. Over the course of the 24 hours I have tried 5 different usb cables. Same result with each cable.
I've also tried charging with the case off. Thinking that maybe the usb connector was not all the way in. But that was not the case. Any thoughts?

Any updates on how to get out of bootloader mode? Update failed and now cant connect to it through bluetooth.I even disconnected the battery for about 5 minutes.I can turn it off and on but always comes back to the purple flashing light

Most of the money I made this year I spent on FPV,the rest I just wasted.

try unpairing your phone from your bluetooth menu. alternatively try another android phone. once the update is complete you should have no problems pairing it with any phone.

I did unpair it now it doesn't show up when I searched for Bluetooth devices. I even tried discovering it with my iPhone as well and didn't show up. Will try with another Android device tonight. Currently left powered on to try and completely drain and reset.

Stuck in bootloader mode

Is there ANY other way to fix this bootloader issue? I only know one person with an Android phone and after many hours of trying to get it to work had to give him his phone back. By the way, his phone was on v.7 (Nouget) and from what I've read, it has to be on v.6 (Marshmallow) for this to work. I was unable to get his phone downgraded.

Surely there must be some other way? Just curious - why didn't you just include the Tracker in the TBS Agent software? That software works great for the Crossfire I just bought.

Received by new tbs tracker, battery was fully charged, the app said there was a firmware update, started the update and got the error "the unit didnt restart in bootloader mode turn on if all lights are off" tried that but its now bricked, wont doba thing. Any ideas anyone?

TBS - please respond with a better solution!

TBS support (Sheng) told me that I need to connect the tracker to an android phone running Android v.6 (marshmallow) in order to resume the firmware update. Unfortunately the only android phone I have access to is running v.7 (Nougat) and Iím unable to downgrade it. Until I find some sort of solution my racetracker is bricked!
